T0 on whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANTONIO C. PESSANO, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Shaft-Hangers, of which invention the following is a specification.

This invention relates to hangers such as are suspended from joists or ceilings to support shafting by means of an adjustable box in separable parts, said box being susceptible of a ball-and-socket movement.

The object of my invention is to facilitate the securing of the lower portion comprising part of the box, the lower adj listing-screw, and the transverse connection or detachable portion of the hanger-legs to the fixed portions of the same parts after the introduction of the shafting into the box.

In the annexed drawings, Figure l isafront elevation, Fig. 2 a side elevation, and Fig. 3 an inverted plan, of a hanger embodying said invention. Fig. 4: is a vertical section of the same on the line 00 a: of Fig. 1, the top of the hanger-leg being broken 0E and the drip-cup omitted. Fig. 5 is an elevation of one (either) of the adj usting-screws.

Similar letters denote similar parts in the several views.

a and a represent the hanger-legs; b, a transverse piece connecting said legs; c, the lower and d the upper bearing-block, both threaded internally, as shown in Fig. 4:.

6 represents the box, which is divided into two parts; f and f, adj Listing-screws; g, setscrews; h, a drip-cup.

The two legs ad, the transverse connection I), and the blocks 0 d are all cast together in one piece, the legs a and a being provided with the enlargements t and j, which are respectively cored to form recesses (see 7t, Fig. at) and notches m.

n represents screw-bolts fittedinto recesses k, and 0 represents nuts. Bydriving wedges into notches an after the hanger has been cast thelower part of the hanger is separated from a the upper part thereof, as indicated by the jagged lines p.

After the shafting has been lifted into the box-socket the lower part of the hanger comprising the lower section of the box, the lower adjusting screw, and the other above-described appendages of the transverse piece I)
